Garland is global make-up director for L'Oreal Paris and has worked with the likes of Kate Moss, Kendall Jenner, Lady Gaga and Alexander McQueen.

Skinner has worked in genres including theatre, ballet, film and TV.

Garland said: "What I'm looking for is skill, creativity, the ability to adapt in any given situation. This person has to have an incredible attitude, be able to feel comfortable in any situation and deliver.

Skinner said he wants "to find a make-up artist who is willing to take risks and to push themselves creatively, someone who is more inspired and hungry at the end of this process than they were at the beginning."

Guest judges from the world of fashion and film will also appear although no names have been revealed as yet.

The series will air later this year and follows in the footsteps of similar shows such as BBC Two's The Great British Sewing Bee and The Great Pottery Throw Down.
